Every
vote counts, and with four weeks to go until the September 10 primary, one Toledo
mayoral candidate is making sure people know it.

Early
voting in Lucas County started August 6. Registered voters can cast their vote
at the early voting center on Summit Street, Monday through Friday. A week into
the push, only about 60 people have voted.

"It's
important to vote early," said Anita Lopez, one of eight mayoral candidates. "So
it's a great opportunity. It's a huge race for the City of Toledo."

Lopez
just picked up an endorsement from Emily's List, the nation's largest resource
for women in politics, the same day she held another rally in front of the
early voting center.

"We
really want citizens to take advantage of this great service," she said. "So we're
looking forward to getting out more members, more citizens, and showing them
that their vote truly does count."

Although
early voting numbers have been low, there's still plenty of time to take
advantage of the opportunity. The center is open from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.
Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. On Tuesday, they are open from 8:30
a.m. until 6:30 p.m.

Toledo's total number of homicides up to 31 for the year. But it's not that number that is as worrisome to the courts and law enforcement as another one. Six of the homicide investigations involve teens.
